"WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!!"

Where does Getting Rowdy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would rank this book in my top 3! It has everything you look for in a love story. Hot sex, happiness, sadness, suspense, mystery and lots of love.

What did you like best about this story?

Everything!!! From the love story of Rowdy and Avery to the love story of the couples from the previous books( their friends and family). Also bringing in some new characters that added a lot to the story and should lead to other great books by Lori Foster.

Which scene was your favorite?

When she went to his condo after the argument. She stood up to Rowdy and didn't back down. She got what she went there for!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The HOT linking of two lost souls.

Any additional comments?

Lori Foster did it again!! This book was Great!!! What more can I say?

Story

"Get Real Rowdy"

While Lori Foster is an excellent writer, some of her characters just didn't seem realistic to me. I wanted to enjoy Getting Rowdy but kept thinking "Get Real".

First, there's Rowdy (30) who was a hard working man who protected his younger sister Pepper from their selfish and alcoholic parents as children. After their deaths when Rowdy was 18, he kept Pepper safe and supported her by any means necessary. However, despite being a wonderful, caring big brother, Rowdy treated all other women like Kleenex - use once then throw away.

Next, there's Avery (30), raised in upper class family, but "ran away" after friend of the family (Fisher) attempted rape. For some strange reason, Avery decided to live in really bad neighborhood and work at a sleazy bar, when she likely had a college education. Avery also took the bus home at 2 am rather than drive her expensive car. Why not sell that car & buy an economy model that wouldn't stand out.

Rowdy became Avery's boss when he bought the bar and attempted to make it a nice, neighborhood place - maybe like Cheers. No, wait - the bar was in a dangerous area where drugs and crime were rampant. When Avery started getting threatening phone calls, possibly from Fisher, she didn't tell Rowdy or his police friends. Then Avery took Rowdy home to see her sick mother and put up with abuse from her stepfather and Fisher.

Although parts of the story were interesting and funny, I just didn't buy Rowdy's sudden change from promiscuous to eager for a committed relationship. And didn't understand how Avery's mother, supposedly a caring & intelligent woman, didn't believe her own daughter. Unless I'm reading fantasy or science fiction, I expect the plot to be more plausible.

"Way to much sex .......on and on and on!"

First time listener, I thought I'd really like this author, but it was way to much sex ...so much to the extent that I had to start skipping the sex scenes to get through. If you take out some of the sex I would have given this a strong 4. The narrator was good.

"Enjoyable to an extent"

Like the other series, it's a good book, and I liked the plot, but too much sex, I mean the same sex scene all the time, in all the series....two finger's.....once would have been enough, but I think Lori got carried away..

"Not Foster's best..."

Would you ever listen to anything by Lori Foster again?

No.

How could the performance have been better?

It was hard to follow the story and characters. The narrator's voice was somewhat monotone, without much inflection.
